Having a startup in the US is a huge mess due to all the states and taxes, if Europe can make everything digital AND easier, it's a no brainer for us to move our company there.

Why would moving to the EU mean you don't have to deal with states and taxes? Would you abandon the US market completely?

Not really, there are services like Avalara that give you the exact tax amount you need to collect from your customers once they fill in the shipping address.

In EU you will need to deal with VAT basically from day one (10k EUR of revenue). In US you will not deal with it until you can afford it as thresholds are very generous.
